Industrial Ethernet Managed Switch Enhanced Tutorials

Contemporary Controls has created a guide on how to enhance the performance of your network through the managed series switch. There are 9 highlighted features, each of which effect the speed of your network.

The Complete Tutorial covers 9 features:

IGMP Snooping
Rate Limiting
Virtual Local Area Network (VLANs
Quality of Service (QoS)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Port Security
Port Mirroring
RapidRing Redundancy®
Trunking Redundancy

IGMP Snooping: See the Tutorial

Improve Ethernet/IP traffic on your network
Automatically Controls multicast traffic
Minimizes unneeded multicast traffic

Rate Limiting: See the Tutorial

Set a maximum bandwidth for each port
Prevent unnecessary communication traffic from overwhelming devices

Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN): See the Tutorial

Isolate traffic between groups of ports
Control access to the various VLAN groups
Allow devices that need to communicate to each other the maximum bandwidth

Quality of Service (QoS): See the Tutorial

Allow "high priority" messages quick throughput
Define message importance

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): See the Tutorial

Monitor switch port parameters
Allows easy access to switch information for HMI, SCADA and other applications

Port Security: See the Tutorial

Control access to end devices

Port Mirroring: See the Tutorial

Provides message troubleshooting access
Allows messages to be monitored for message content

RapidRing® Redundancy:
Allows switched networks to be wired in a ring utilizing fiber or copper. Any break in the ring will be recovered in less than 300ms (with up to 20 switches). Relay contacts, flashing LEDs and SNMP traps help to quickly identify broken links. Supports dual ring structures. See the tutorial and info sheet for more information.

Trunking Redundancy:
Any break in the trunk will be recovered in less than 10ms. Relay contacts, flashing LEDs and SNMP traps help to quickly identify the broken links. Trunking also provides more bandwidth between switches See the tutorial and info sheet for more information.
